Auto update
Understand how SkinsRestorer installs updates.
SkinsRestorer looks for updates when the server starts. If an update is available, it downloads the file.
SkinsRestorer installs the update during the next server restart.
On BungeeCord and Velocity networks, only backend servers update automatically. If SkinsRestorer reports an update, update the proxy manually.
Why automatic updates are enabled
Updates contain security fixes, bug fixes, and new features. The project supports only the latest version.

The automatic updater installs updates for you. It also shows an in-game message when an update is available.
